<b>Description: DbEnv::set_message_stream</b>
<p>There are interfaces in the Berkeley DB library which either directly output
informational messages or statistical information, or configure the
library to output such messages when performing other operations, for
example, <a href="../api_cxx/env_set_verbose.html">DbEnv::set_verbose</a> and <a href="../api_cxx/env_stat.html">DbEnv::stat_print</a>.</p>
<p>The DbEnv::set_message_stream and
<a href="../api_cxx/db_set_msg_stream.html">Db::set_message_stream</a> methods are used to display these messages for
the application.  In this case, the message will include a trailing
&lt;newline&gt; character.</p>
<p>Setting <b>stream</b> to NULL unconfigures the interface.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can use the <a href="../api_cxx/env_set_msgfile.html">DbEnv::set_msgfile</a> and
<a href="../api_cxx/db_set_msgfile.html">Db::set_msgfile</a> methods to display the messages via a C library FILE *,
or the <a href="../api_cxx/env_set_msgcall.html">DbEnv::set_msgcall</a> and <a href="../api_cxx/db_set_msgcall.html">Db::set_msgcall</a> methods to
capture the additional error information in a way that does not use
either output streams or C library FILE *'s.  You should not mix these
approaches.</p>
<p>The DbEnv::set_message_stream method configures operations performed using the specified
<a href="../api_cxx/env_class.html">DbEnv</a> handle, not all operations performed on the underlying
database environment.</p>
<p>The DbEnv::set_message_stream method may be called at any time during the life of the
application.</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>stream</b><ul compact><li>The <b>stream</b> parameter is the application-specified output stream to
be used for additional message information.</ul>
